Foster the People is widely accepted as one of the biggest indie success stories of the year. They have taken one bubble gum indie song called "Pumped Up Kicks" and turned it into one of the most downloaded AND most-radio-played songs of 2k11. It seems like it is so culturally resonant that the song became a clue for their EXCLUSIVE TV DEBUT on the popular gameshow Jeopardy. I'm not even sure who watches Jeopardy any more. I think 'old lonely people', and weirdos with too much DVR space who still think that 'knowing trivia' makes them smart.

In this historic moment in indie, watch as these laggard ass lamestreamers are unable to identify the globally successful buzzband 'Foster the People.'

Alex, I'll take Bubble Gum Indie for $0.99.
Alex, I'll take mindie bands for $200.
Alex, I'll take lamestream radio for $500.
Alex, I'll take Mark Foster for $1000.
Alex, I'll take buzzhype for $1349.
Alex, I'm gonna go ahead and bet ONE DOLLAR [via Price is Right].

'Who the eff are they talking about? I thought I was totally in2 pop culture. I wish they asked me about a real band, like The Fray, Hot Chelle Rae, the Band Perry, Lady Antebellum or Don Henley.'

You really have to wonder if they are 'too alt' to know who a mainstream band like Foster the PPL is, or if they are 'so alt' that they are completely out of touch with the mainstream AND the mindie-stream.

Yall srsly have never heard the hit mindie buzz song 'Pumped Up Kicks'? I have multiple children aged 9 thru 43, and they all LOVE that song! They even gifted it 2 me [via iTunes]!

Would u have 'nailed' this question?
Do you think that the contestants are so alt that they were unable to identify such a mainstream song?
Is 'Pumped Up Kicks' the song of the Decade?
What kind of ppl still watch Jeopardy?
Is Foster the People the worst thing to happen to 'indie', even worse than Lana Del Rey?
Do u 'effing puke' everytime u hear 'Pumped Up Kicks', or do u dance around like a lamestreamer?
Did Mark Foster sell his soul to the devil in exchange for the creative vibes 2 write 'Pumped Up Kicks'?

God Bless,
